The evolution of East Tower, Manchester.
Captured by Manchester based, Senior Electrical Engineer, Josh Shaw. We are proud to present the progression of the first of two high-rise, mixed-use developments on the former site of the television studio complex, Granada studios.
Constructed by Renaker, the build forms part of Manchester’s new Tech, Media and Creative cluster to be known as Enterprise City and Futureserv are thrilled to be involved.
Once complete, the high rise will tower at 32 stories tall and make a great addition to the Manchester City skyline.
Works on the West Tower, 36 stories, have now commenced and we are excited to see the finished product of both East & West!

That's a brilliant clip. Staggering how the city has changed so dramatically in, what, 20 years or so? It's not the same city I grew up in back in the 60s-70s-early 80s. Back then, the CIS tower was (IIRC) the tallest building in the City. Now (if it's still standing), it'll be dwarfed by the new towers shooting up all around the city centre.
Select Property Group has completed the acquisition of a car park on Port Street from Town Centre Securities for £12.95m.
Select lodged plans for One Port Street in January and twice saw the application rejected by Manchester City Council.
However, a reduction in height from 34 to 33 storeys saw the scheme given the green light by planners in July.
Designed by SimpsonHaugh Architects, the development also features an 11-storey block. The shorter element fronts Great Ancoats Street, while the tower portion faces Port Street.

£13m, for a car park? Wow. And yes, I realise it's not the car park the buyers are acquiring, it's the land and the location. Makes me smile that one storey is the difference between planning approval and rejection. What's the difference in height going to be; 20-30 ft?

There have been a couple things in error here and there, that I had seen. Although I think it was down to the sources quoted getting it wrong, from memory. With the volume posted though likely to happen at times.
You both seem to keep the place going there, plenty of content constantly updated. I enjoy seeing it, and like that there is a version of it going on on here now too.
